2024 Update: I can take BCBS or self-pay, with new client availability in the afternoons. To stay true to my specialization and passion, I only accept new clients for relationship counseling purposes (or through a personalized referral). This can be for couples or individual counseling that centers around relationship issues. I also work closely with the queer community (LGBTQ+, nonmonogamy, kink-friendly, etc.), and I love helping clients create and maintain boundaries while becoming their authentic selves.

I’ve been told by many clients that I’m more “directive” than your average counselor, meaning I’m very solution-focused and never just sit back and listen for the whole session. If you're looking for the kind of counselor who will be real and down to earth with you, "no BS" so to say, feel free to reach out through email to set up an appointment.

Finally, I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor and have training as a supervisor for LLPCs and LLMFTs in the state of Michigan. If you are a clinician looking for a supervisor who is down to earth, practical, supportive, solution-focused, and dedicated to helping you become the best clinician you can be, please email me for more information.

I particularly love working with non-monogamy (ENM) clients, and anyone looking for support and guidance improving their boundaries and authenticity in their interpersonal life. As of 2024 I am getting certified in Sound Therapy, so that is another area I'm trying to delve into, through group sound baths and individual therapy that mixes sound therapy with talk therapy.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
Sound Therapy

I approach therapy from a directive and solution-focused angle. I believe that most clients seek counseling to make changes in their lives, and I see myself as a guide and teacher for the skills, perspective, insight, and knowledge that give clients the ability to make those changes. Expect therapy with me to be interactive, down to earth, and supportive yet challenging.
